    FAQs

    No. Yes Superfood Curcumin Powder has a mild, subtly sweet flavour profile. At the quantity used in this recipe, it contributes primarily a warm golden colour rather than a pronounced turmeric flavour.

    At the quantity used in this recipe, the light, sweet flavour of the meringue remains dominant. The blue spirulina is used mainly for its striking blue colour.

    Cooking the meringue as an even layer in the microwave makes it easy to cut into neat cubes once chilled. The cubes remain soft and pillowy rather than crisp, creating a modern presentation that is particularly striking when the dessert is served in individual glasses.

    The vanilla custard can be prepared one day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator. The meringue cubes are best prepared on the day of serving. Keep the two components separate and assemble the dessert only immediately before serving.
